About this worksheet
A three-page record sheet for a Year 1 waterproof test, with an answer key. Pupils look at six materials (paper, kitchen foil, a plastic bag, cotton fabric, a sponge and wool) and circle yes or no to predict whether each one is waterproof. They drop water onto each material with a pipette or spoon and tick whether it goes through or stays on top. The conclusion has a four-word bank for a gap-fill sentence and a question on why we would not make a raincoat from paper. It covers the Year 1 everyday materials unit and working scientifically in the England National Curriculum.
